Bengals' Kris Jenkins: Plays Thursday
Jenkins logged five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Thursday night's preseason opener against the Lions.
Jenkins participated in 32 defensive snaps, good for 48 percent of Cincinnati's total in Thursday's game. The defensive tackle missed the last three games of the 2025 regular season due to an ankle injury, but he appears to have since recovered. The 2024 second-rounder has a hard path to playing time this year, with the addition of Dexter Lawrence set to knock his position on the depth chart down further.

Bengals' Kris Jenkins: Playing time in jeopardy
Jenkins, who missed the last three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury, will have a hard time earning meaningful playing time in the wake of the Bengals trading for Dexter Lawrence, Charlie Goldsmith of Charlie's Chalkboard reports.
The Bengals have traded for Lawrence, signed Jonathan Allen and retained B.J. Hill as interior defensive linemen, and they still currently employ T.J. Slaton. Jenkins hasn't shined in his first two years with the Bengals after getting drafted in the second round from Michigan, tallying a combined 67 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

Bengals' Kris Jenkins: Solid in pass rush in Week 3 loss
Jenkins registered six tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.
Though the Bengals were blown out badly, Jenkins was a bright spot by bringing down Carson Wentz twice. The first was a split sack with Myles Murphy, while Jenkins' second QB takedown was a solo sack. His sack total Sunday put him already to the halfway mark of the 3.0 sacks he posted over 15 regular-season games as a rookie last year.
